Fantastic First-Time Experience With Roof Rack

I bought this a year ago and just got around to installing it on my 2018 Honda Civic Hatchback Sport. My friends complain about the noise produced with their respective roof racks, but I drive for work, and I haven’t heard a peep out of this thing. I drive interstate and country roads, and I know my car very well. There’s no noise at all from this JetStream. And I swear that my gas mileage has actually improved (my car is a 6-speed stick shift, so it gets great mileage anyway). But I’m super happy with this rack.. it’s as if it wasn’t even there. Now I’m just trying to figure out if I need the locks and what their purpose is.

Jet Stream cross bars with Timberline towers

Love this set up, it replaces the noisy factory cross bars that came on my 2021 Bronco Sport. They look great, were easy to install, and are quiet. They have had no impact on my gas mileage either that is a bonus.

An annoying whistle, but no end caps

These are the crossbars that I waited about 7 months for that I ordered to come on my Leer truck camper shell. I drove down the road after install and immediately heard the whistle. I noticed the ends are open, the end caps are missing. I was told the end caps are expected to arrive in April 2022 and this should end the whistling.

Super sleek and helps with the wind noise...

I've decided on the JetStream to utilize the T-Slot kit for my pair of High Road mounts. Love the slim profile and overall design. While there's still wind noise... I opted to get the WindShield Fairing to reduce it even more. Thanks.

Perfect!

Got these crossbars for the top of my truck canopy. They are super quiet and the black looks amazing. Everything I expected! Would recommend to anyone

Sleek and Quiet

I bought a SnugTop camper shell for my pickup and had tracks, Skyline mounts, with Jetstream crossbars installed. They whistled like crazy above 30 mph. I little research found that they neglected to reinstall the rubber inserts in the bottom of the Jetstream crossbars after setting up the Skyline mounts for track width. If you obtain the PDF install instructions you will find that rubber insert is removed to set mounts to track width. Then they should be cut and reinstalled. Once I got the rubber inserts provided to me and installed them all whistle noise ceased. The Jetstream crossbars are very sleek looking and strong. The plastic end caps should be aluminum at this price point and attached with a set screw.

Nice but whistles

Bought this rack on my truck cap, this rack whistles at 30 mph and above.

Great bars!

These are very well constructed bars and they seem very strong for how light they are. They also look cool which is an added bonus. I’m really glad I chose these. I installed them with landing pads and sky towers on my Ram Promaster City. After some measuring it was easy to install and I love that they are easy to remove when I’m not using them (attached to the sky towers). I love that the sky towers have locks you can install for security. I haven’t noticed any noise increase since I’ve installed them, so they are quiet.

Still lots of wind noise!

I bought a set of these Jetstream bars, hoping to quiet the wind noise I was getting, particularly at highway speeds, over the old round bars I had on my 2014 Audi Allroad. Nope, sorry! Still lots of noise, more of a whistling sound, even at speeds as low as 30 mph! So I'm disappointed with the noise but I plan to buy a 40" fairing the next time Yakima products are on sale at REI, which should take care of the problem (fingers crossed). I think the amount of wind noise you get with these bars is very dependent on your particular car, so it's kind of a hit-or-miss proposition. I will say, though, that these bars look sharp and are very well constructed, with some real engineering in how they attach to the towers and the towers to the Audi side rails.

Jetstream on 2017 Honda Pilot

Considering the excellent engineering of the Yakima line, I was disappointed to find that my rear bar is about 5/8 inch lower than the front bar, relative to level with 32” spacing. Carrying long boards, the slope is apparent and will result in unnecessary drag. Called support and was advised that there is no solution with sizing of the landing pads, all they could offer was a suggestion for additional padding to bring the load to level.

Can roof rails be added to Honda Pilot?

Easy to install. These are genuine Honda rails that will add a lot to the aesthetics of your Pilot if you do not have a roof rack system. I was able to install these myself with help of a friend (we are both weekend do it yourselfers).

How do you install roof cross bars on a Honda Pilot?

Use a screwdriver to remove the screws from each slot. Line your crossbars with the empty slots. Bolt the indicated tabs on your crossbars to the slots on rails, using the threads where the screws used to be. Once you've bolted in every side, give your crossbars a little shake to make sure they're secure.

Can roof rails be installed aftermarket?

Many vehicles are readily equipped with some form of roof rails — which you may notice when buying a car. Some manufacturers may offer these rails standard, while others provide them as an option instead. If your car doesn't have any, they can be installed separately.

Are roof rails easy to install?

Installation takes just a few minutes and requires little more than basic tools or possibly no tools at all. Some automakers, such as Subaru, sell individual components to make transporting your equipment even easier. After installation, load your gear per the instructions included with the adapters.
